the possible source of carbon monoxide.
· In rooms with slanted ceilings, the carbon monoxide alarms should be installed at
the higher side of the room.
Alarms located in bedrooms and rooms far away from combustion devices
In rooms located far away from combustion devices, the carbon monoxide has
already cooled to room temperature. Due to the fact that CO has nearly the same
density as air, it distributes uniformly in the air.
Consider the following points:
· In bedrooms and in rooms which are located far away from combustion devices,
the devices should be at the breathing level of the occupants (e.g. "desk level" at
the bed-side table in bedrooms and "eye level" in living rooms).
· Make sure there is sufficient spacing to the ceiling as well as to corners and
furnishings (min. 200 mm).
Where alarms should not be installed
· outside (use only possible in closed rooms);
· where they can be blocked (e.g. by furniture);
· on ceilings (only suitable for wall installation);
· next to a door or a window (reliable detection cannot be guaranteed);
· next to an air duct or similar ventilation opening;
· in areas in which the temperature can fall below -10° C and rise over
40° C;
· in rooms that are exposed to large amounts of dust/dirt or grease.
